[X] Are there any observed effects on the Phantom Point as it continues to invest in its target? Would it be weaker if struck right on the cusp of devouring its target, or would sooner be better than later?
[X] Are there any abilities that we've observed or can speculate on that I should be aware of and prepare a response for? Any particular senses it targets for its Deception-based abilities?
And this close, nail-biter of a vote has been brought to it's thrilling conclusion.

[X] These utensils came from Ming Hui's home and are seemingly part of a set. Ming Hui must have other tools from that same set. If they are as important as he thinks they are, they could have absorbed some of his anam or that of his family- anam you can use to trace them.
[x] Despite Ming Hui's assurances that they were delivered, there have still been problems in the Courier's Office. You will venture to the surface to speak with them and make sure they really delivered the parcel.

[x] This creature is too pathetic to kill, and likely doesn't mean any direct harm. It wants a tool for digging, and you can provide that. Take one of your emergency steel ingots and use Chui Dao to form a trowel and offer it in trade.
-[X] Ask how it obtained the utensils. If a disciple disposed of them and it found them then...you'd just have to track that disciple down for some education.
[X] This creature is no great power. Ming Hui seems to have the right idea. You will engage the creature in combat both to retrieve the tools and to see what kind of interesting things you can harvest from it in the aftermath.

-[X] Also ask what it is digging for. If it trades Ming Hui some edible ingredients it would be easier to settle things peacefully.

[X] It can speak. That means there's some amount of intelligence here, and that could mean you have a chance to negotiate. You will attempt to bargain with the Boar for the return of the skewers.
[X] Treachery. Ming Hui is a diplomat in training while Zhi embarked on the path of the Dirty Fighter. Let each do what they specialize in. Calm Ming Hui down and send him to distract the Boar with food, friendly chatter and attempts to bargain while Zhi looks for an opportunity to strike from a blind spot.
-[X] With a debilitating technique like Warhound's Cry, we don't need to hold out for a physical blind spot, merely for Ming Hui to occupy enough of the Boar's focus.
--[X] If successful, offer to teach WHC to Ming Hui to spread the glory of team floof.
[X] Charm's Form: A Set of Leather Bolas made of Braided snakeskin, with weights in the shape of serpent heads. The cords are connected by a steel ring in the shape of a snake eating it's tail. Runes are tattooed onto the snakeskin in an ink infused with powdered poison sac, and a mixture of the same powder mixed with ground amethyst is inlaid into carvings on the weights.
[X] Charm's Effect: When activate and thrown onto an enemy the cords animate and bind the target like living serpents, the weights animating and burying hidden fangs into the victim. From there the charm takes anam from the victim and turns it into poison. The more the victim fights the more the charm absorbs/poisons. Used for capturing and immobilizing targets.

[X] This is all so very wrong. You can't speak as to the Radiant-Sunholder conflict—you've seen how from the Moloth how atrocities can be perpetrated by either side. But no one should be forced to forget who they are. To forsake the ties to their own family.
-[X] *hugs* You're not sure what help you can offer, but if Nokai needs any, you'll be right there. She shouldn't have to go through this alone.

[x] When I first saw you, I didn't understand how people could be afraid of you. I didn't know your history, or the history of your people. I've learned a great deal since coming to the sect, about how people can be monsters, and sometimes monsters might be people. What I know is that you've helped me without thought of repayment and at cost to yourself. I am still your friend, if you will have me, and I hope you are mine as well. *hugs* Also, Geng Tu is an evil bastard, and I hope we can make him regret ever coming here.
[X] "no choice but to grow strong, sharpen your fangs and claws and trust in All of your pack then, when the time comes you'll have my full support Nokia"

[x] I am sorry for what you went through. I am also sorry for my countrymen. But.... All I can know for sure right now is that you are my friend. I will help you against Geng Tu. Do not be afraid to ask for help.
[x] The only mistake you make is thinking Radiants are weak. We are not. As your tribe found out the reason we can allow our unseated to grow soft and weak is that we are strong among our leadership and soldiers.
[X] I don't know how was the battle and I am sorry to you but I can't say I am sad about the results. I am a Kong, a Radiant charmcrafter in the end. However, I am sad about what you went through, the... I think the arrogance to try to change the culture of a person. I can't agree with something that horrible no matter who did it. Nokai, you let me be part of your pack, you helped me when that pig of Jin tried to attack me cowardly, and you fight with me when you didn't need it. You are my friend and because of that I will always try to help you... But I can't promise you to stand by your side if one day you go to your people or try to do something against the Geng, I will even try to stop you in this one. The former because it would destroy my family, the latter because I don't want something very bad happening to you.
[x] Radiants kill Sunholders, Sunholders kill Radiants, Radiants kill Radiants, and surely Sunholders kill Sunholders as well. Such is the nature of conflict in this world, so I don't blame you. However, if you want to exact revenge on the Geng, you will need the power to do so. Bide your time in the sect, and don't hesitate to request my aid as I have relied on you as well.
[X] The best medicine for pain is revenge on the people who caused the pain. You can't act against the entire Geng clan yet, but Geng Tu is conveniently nearby. Let me know when you're ready to beat Geng Tu into a jelly and I'll back you up.
[X] On a level, you are slightly disturbed by the thought of Nokai as a child slaughtering your fellow Radiants. But the Nokai you know is your friend and you want to keep being her friend, even if it comes with annoying the Geng family. Tell her that as far as you're concerned, nothing's changed. She's still your friend, and you have her back.
[X] Sit down next to her and place Xue* in her lap. Say you think you understand. Ask gently if she's talked about this with anyone else. Try to be supportive.
-[X] Mo Hanying has begun work on her grand competition and you are in charge of judging the charmcrafters. Twelve currently remain with three weeks to go. You shall meet with 'your' charmcrafters and continue winnowing them down.
--[X] Get 12 sets of minor materials from Mo. Give each contestant a set of materials and a set of mediocre tools along with a deliberately flawed diagram. Tell them they need to make a charm with the desired effect and only using what is provided, how they do so is up to them. Assess them based on charm quality and artistic merit. If they just try to follow the diagram blindly then they should be dropped out.
-[X] Jai Shouxi seems to have carved out some rare free time and plans to use it. He has been putting together groups of disciples to serve as test groups. You would be a poor roommate if you did not offer your own services- though hopefully you will be able to avoid being dosed this time.
-[X] You have finished planning how to best use The Love Transfixed and images of a multifaceted puzzle dance through your head. You will settle into your workstation and turn your imaginings into reality.

[X] Enhanced Recovery. (Kong Zhi's breathing technique now bolsters his core, increasing it's own productivity. Kong Zhi's EMP is doubled when calculating anam regeneration rate.)
[X] Added Utility. (When Kong Zhi is not at a Natural Wonder, he can still attempt to cycle ambient anam. He may cycle at a location not strong in anam and gain an amount of anam equal to his WIT that is appropriately aspected.)
[X] Greater Efficiency. (Kong Zhi is far more used to manipulating his own anam than he once was. He no longer suffers from the 10% penalty towards combat techniques inherent to the Kong Family Cycling Technique.)
[x] [DOUYAN] Ask her how she has calculated the size of the gemstones to fit in the final product. If she catches the hint, all is well, otherwise, it is her own fault.
[x] [RIOU] Pretend as though you are examining the contents of the jars, and 'discover' the additive 'accidentally' and ask her if it is supposed to be there.
[X] [RIOU] Answer her earlier question about the eyepatch, and hint that it will no longer be a requirement in the near future. As you're leaving mention the sabotage, but not who sabotaged her and continue on your way.
